I'm sure you're already familiar with Caviar manicure, because I'm seeing it everywhere at the moment but in case you have no idea what I'm talking about, I'll tell you one more time. :P
Ciaté released a Caviar Manicure set, where you get a base nail polish and pearls aka beads. Long story short, great idea but the whole set is a bit overpriced. Okay, you get a tray and mini funnel to pour back all beads that fall down but you can put a tiny box under and make your own funnel from a piece of paper. :D The idea about caviar manicure is to pour pearls over wet polish, gently push them to stick even more and get a 3D manicure that looks like caviar. :D I think we all got same idea when we saw this set....
All you need are beads. I got mine on Born Pretty Store ages ago, search for 3D Steel Ball Glitter. This set costs a bit more than $5 and you get 12 colors so you can easily mix them together and get funny combinations. You can use my new code J10X31 to get 10% off. Btw... If this code will be used two times more, BPS will sponsor a giveaway. :)
Step 1: Apply a base color. Or if you already have nail polish on, you can just add a layer of top coat to have sticky surface. Do one nail at a time.
Step 2: When polish is still wet, put your finger over something that will catch fallen beads. Sprinkle beads over your nail to cover the whole surface.
Step 3: Gently push the beads down so they stick a bit more and you get rid of a beads that didn't stick to the nail.
Step 4: Apply a coat of top coat to seal the beads and make them "long lasting".
I did my ring finger yesterday and it seems like the topcoat changed color to light pink so it looks like I did an accent nail. :P
I was done in less than 10 minutes, but I only did my left hand. I'm sure I'll do a full manicure once in the future, because it's really easy to make it.
My nails are super short, excuse me for that, but the final result looks funny and cute even on my nubs. :) So yes, no need to spend so much money on that set. :e You can mix as many color as you like so you're not limited with specific color combinations of beads, that's another plus!
What do you think? Do you like this new trend and idea about Caviar manicure? It's not super long lasting so I'd definitely wear it for special occasions or when you want to do something special. :D
Xoxo,
Ivana :k

i really love this caviar mani, gorgeous colour mix!!
ReplyDeleteMe too! Thanks for your comment! :)
DeleteWow, hudo!
ReplyDeleteHvala! :)
Deletešto više gledam ove manikure, sve mi se više sviđaju ;)
ReplyDeleteNeka neka, sad si ti na redu da jednu napraviš. :D
DeleteThat is very pretty! Is it hard to take off like glitter polish?
ReplyDeleteI think it's harder to take off glitter polish as beads. I still didn't try to remove it but I'll let you know how the removal went! :)
DeleteJust wanted to let you know that the beads are really easy to remove. I just put a cotton pad on my nails for a few seconds and they come off really easy. One nail even came off in one piece. Win! :D
DeleteStunning!
ReplyDeleteI love your nails!
It looks totally fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThank you Benna! :)
DeleteThis is sooo pretty!!! I love it <3
ReplyDeleteI wanna try this!
Thank you Natalie! :) What are you waiting for? Get yourself some beads and start playing. :P
DeleteThis is the cutest caviar-manicure I've seen so far...
ReplyDeleteLove the colors together! I wonder how long the little steel balls/pearls are going to stay on your nails.
P.S. Love you cute nubbins! ♥
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'm not really sure if I'll wear this manicure, I have some other plans but if I will, I'll let you know how lond did they stay on my nails. :)
DeleteThank you! <3 My nubs are really driving me crazy so comment like yours makes me feel better. :$
Ring finger was still perfect when I removed it after 2 days, others started to chip faster, because I also did them faster. Just be sure base color is still wet, try to apply 2 coats of top coat to seal them and I'm sure they'll last you a couple of days. :)
DeleteI'm liking this trend the more I see it, although I still think the texture and thickness would drive me crazy and I'd be picking them off within hours.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the name.. Caviar? This is more like candy sprinkles! :) I want to nibble your nails :D
They can be a bit annoying but they're really not driving me crazy like rhinestones for example. :D And yap, candy sprinkles would be even better name for these kind of manis. :D At least it sounds yummy and I can't say that for Caviar. :D
Deleteso pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :h
DeleteThis looks so pretty!!! :D
ReplyDeleteI am trying to decide if I like the trend or not.
ReplyDeleteI must admit yours so far is the cutest I've seen. Somehow, in the black colors (the two I have seen before) it looks too serious to be fun, and I think nail polish should be fun! Yours definitely is fun!
I might give it a try and then decide if I like it or not LOL
Thank you JinJit, that's a big compliment for me! I'm not really into dark colors so wearing bright and fun manicures are my things. :P
DeleteYou should definitely try it out and decide, I'm sure you'll love it! :P
This is the best caviar mani I've seen thus far!!! I absolutely love this! I'm going to have to give it a whirl soon =)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jacqui!!! :h I think everyone need to try this manicure at least once! :)
DeleteNubs is what she calls her nails. Nail lengths like that are the best! I have nubs ;p
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm in love with your manicure!
Thank you Ingie! :) I have nothing against nubs but I so LOVE long nails on me. :$ That's why I'm a bit sad I can't have them always. :)
DeleteWow! I love it... It looks great! But I think that not too much practic for cleaning the house ect. :o))). Xoxo V.V.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vera! Well, that's why you make a manicure like this when you're going somewhere special for example. :P
Deleteizgleda kao nesto fino za jest ^_^ bacam se u potragu za perlicama pa ako nadjem napravim i ja :)
ReplyDeleteNadam se, da ih nađeš uskoro pa da vidimo i tvoju kaviar manikuru, mislim, da će biti u plavi boji. :P
Deletethis is great Ivana! i love it! very very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lydz! :k
DeleteAs I said on twitter, this manicure stole my heart !
ReplyDeleteI really NEED to try this ! :)

Xx. S
Thanks S. for your lovely compliment! <3 I can't wait to see you your version! :L
DeleteThis looks AMAZING babe! The best I've seen by far! LOVE LOVE LOVE, and one more LOVE just because its pink!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marketta! I had to try it in pink, just like everything else - we love pink, right? :L
DeleteWow, kok kul :D
ReplyDeleteAne? :P Tak funny in cute trend. :)
Deleteful hudo <3
ReplyDeleteHvala. :h
DeleteWell thank you, I haven't heard about this "caviar" mani. I think you did a beautiful selection of colors (pink :-)) and I love the result on your nails.
ReplyDeleteWould I ever try that? Nah, I know it won't work with me and tiny tricky beads :-P
Now you'll see it everywhere. :D I think we all just want to share this idea how to get this look for less. :)
DeleteYou should try it at least once! Your nails are so pretty and they'd look so cute with tiny beads. :L
Hvala :) Maybe I should try just on an accent nail first!
DeleteYes, accent nail! I totally forgot that option. xD
DeleteWow !! It is so beautiful !! I love the color. It is perfect, I don't know if they sell the beads in here, I am gonna look for them.
